The rotation of the motor 47 is reduced to a predetermined ratio by the speed reducer 48, and the driving force output from the motor 47 is transmitted to the output shaft 57. This driving force is transmitted to the stacker 26 side through the spline bearing portion 58 and the spline shaft 56, and is transmitted to the disk 52 through the shaft 32.
[0031]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the space formed between the bottom of the pusher 33 and the rail 61 constitutes a bill conveyance path 62. The carry-in port of the banknote transport path 62 is opened facing the banknote insertion port 49 opened on the front surface of the stacker 26. The rail 61 is made of a pair of plate members attached to both inner side walls of the stacker 26. In the longitudinal direction of the plate material, a bent portion 61 a bent into a U shape shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. 9 forms a bill contact portion of the rail 61. Both side portions of the inserted bill 24 are supported in line contact with the bent portion 61a. The end of the pusher 33 on the bill validator 25 side is bent, and the end of the inserted bill 24 discharged from the bill validator 25 is guided to the bill transport path 62 by the bent portion 33a.
[0032]
Before the bills are stored in the stacker 26, the support plate 34 is pressed from below by the compression coil spring 35, and both side portions are pressed against the lower end portion 61 b of the bent portion 61 a of the rail 61. When the pusher 33 is driven and pushed down by the bill pushing portion 31 in this state, the pusher 33 passes through the space formed between the rails 61 and comes into contact with the inserted bill 24 on the upper surface of the support plate 61. Here, the pusher 33 is formed so that its width is narrower than the interval between the rails 61. When the pusher 33 passes between the rails 61, the inserted banknote 24 is subjected to a downward force by the pusher 33 at the center thereof, and an upward force by the rail 61 at both sides thereof. Therefore, both sides of the inserted bill 24 are bent along the longitudinal direction by the pressing force from the pusher 33. When the pusher 33 is further driven and passes between the rails 61, both side portions of the inserted bill 24 are restored to the original state by the elastic force and are flattened and held on the upper surface of the support plate 34.
[0033]
When the slide plate 54 is pulled upward by the rotation of the disk 52, the pusher 33 moves upward accordingly. For this reason, the support plate 34 is moved upward by the compression coil spring 35, and the inserted bill 24 is sandwiched between the support plate 34 and the lower end portion 61 b of each rail 61. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the inserted bills 24 are stacked between the pusher 33 and the support plate 34 as a result of repeating such bill storing operation several times. When the pusher 33 moves upward from this state, the stacked inserted banknotes 24 are sandwiched between the support plate 34 and the rails 61. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
[0034]
Next, the stacker collection operation in the bill handling apparatus 21 according to the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In these drawings, the same parts as those in FIG.
[0035]
